The new tvs apache rtr 200 4v looks distinguished but not dramatically different from the previous generation models. The bike maker has chosen to stay close to the draken x-21 concept showcased at the 2014 auto expo, which is a good thing and this has helped push the aggressive quotient to a maximum lending a true street-fighter styling. The trademark bikini fairing has been given a miss on the rtr 200 and is now replaced by a leaner and meaner single headlamp cluster that is equipped with daytime running leds.
The single piece fuel tank looks sharp and accommodates the extended fenders with ease, whereas the differently positioned fuel tank lid looks rather good. Adding a sporty touch is the black stripe in the middle of the fuel tank that also manages to break the mono colour scheme on the bike. You get split seats that are comfortable and accommodating for both the rider and pillion, whereas the rear gets an led tail lamp and clear lens turn indicators. What also work for us are the w-shaped grab handle and the wavy alloy wheels that complete the aesthetic elements on the flagship apache.
The apache rtr 200 4v holds many firsts for tvs and one of them is its all-digital instrument console. We were impressed when the ktm duke 200 first came with a heavily loaded console setting the benchmark in the segment and tvs has a done a splendid job matching up to it. You get a speedometer, odometer, two trip meters, gear indicator gear shift light and service reminder. But here's the fun part, the console also comes with a lap timer, high speed recorder, shortest distance recorder and a humble message that says 'race on' every time you turn the ignition on.
While the styling is one aspect of grabbing attention, tvs has managed to tune the exhaust rather well on the apache rtr 200 4v. Dubbed as the 'double barrel' exhaust, the rtr 200 gets a stronger bass exhaust note, which makes it an attention seeking motorcycle, should you choose to rev past the onlookers. Our test bike was finished in matte white and the calm colour certainly looks brilliant and matches the superior fit and finish that tvs has to offer. That said, the other shades inclusive of matte yellow, grey and red are something to watch out for.
Power delivery feels smooth throughout the rev range and there is ample grunt even at lower rpms to get you going. The throttle response is crisp thanks to the efi unit and the counter balancer shaft has helped keep engine vibrations to a minimum. In fact, vibes are negligible even on top of the power band and the motor is extremely refined in every sense. The engine feels the happiest in the mid-range at just above 6000rpm and power is always available at the twist of your wrist. While riding in the city will hardly be an issue on the apache rtr 200, the top-end is lacking and that's when an extra 2-3bhp would've helped.
Tvs claims a top speed of 129 kmph on the apache with 0-110 kmph coming up easily. The remainder though needs the rider to crouch a bit to get the numbers going. The bike maker has also restrained itself to a 5-speed gearbox, while the competition has moved to a 6-speed unit. Nevertheless, gear shifts are smooth and changes sans any hassle, but that extra could've helped in achieving a slightly higher top speed. In the next update maybe?
One of the stronger points that the apache series always boasted off was a strong handling character and with the rtr 200 4v, tvs has spiced things up further. While the frame is completely new, it remains extremely responsive and quick turns are hardly ever an issue. In fact, one could compare it to a point and shoot camera, so to say. It feels that effortless at times when changing directions. That said, it isn't flawless and the trait can be blamed on the slightly softer suspension setup.
The apache rtr 200 4v uses 37mm kayaba front forks and a pre-load adjustable monoshock suspension at the rear. The setup works well in terms of everyday performance and is intended to offer a balance between good ride quality and handling. Tvs scores brownie points in this regard and has certainly done a good job. Hence, it is only when you turn the throttle a bit too hard, the softer setup becomes apparent. Nevertheless, it isn't something that spoils the riding experience and clearly does not affect the dynamics of the motorcycle in everyday riding conditions. What stays true to the apache name is the effortless performance that the bike has managed to offer for over a decade now.

First of all on paper it seems awesome but in reality it's very different. I purchased a 200 4V in dec 2020 and I have covered 28000 kilometres on this bike.This bike has problems now and then, and the built quality is very poor. (Sometimes starting issue, battery down issue even though the battery is fully charged etc)Like its balancer gets damaged while tackling potholes, Its chain sprocket is very poor i had to replace it at 11000 kilometres just to let you know I ride my bike sensibly.Its LED light got dim.Certain noise comes from the engine kat kat katWhenever I visit the service centre one or more parts have to be replaced for sure.Till now I have spent nearly 30k to 35k on this bike.Radial tyre got damaged at 21000 km which was shocking as in my area roads are good.I will not recommend this bike its on-road price must be eye-catching but after-sales service as well as the built quality is patheticChoose your vehicle wisely.

Get your chain clean and lube every 250 km to 300 km because its chain gets dry very fast. Service is required at every 2000 km to 2500 km. You need to get your throttle body clean in very alternate servicing. To avoid chain noise replace the chain bottom guide at every 7000 km.

The Blue Beast
3 weeks ago
Samipendu Das
Ok, so let me inform others about my ownership review of the Blue Beast. I purchased it on August 1, 2021 in West Bengal. I should say every dealership here will force you to buy their insurance else you have to do RTO registration and insurance through agents (You know why). The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.Performance and mileage wise: 5/5Comfort: 4/5Servicing and Maintenance:There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.Reliability: 4/5.Pros:EngineLow MaintenanceReliabilityServiceCons: SeatI hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

Bhola Naskar
Do not buy this bike. Service center experience is very poor. The fuel pump problem is a very common problem on this bike. Please don't buy TVS company bike. Customer support is very poor. After-sale service is very poor. After 2 months of use I have faced the issue with my bike. I submit by the bike service center they give me a bike after 40 to 50 days. They change my bike fuel pump. After 1 year by bike facing the same issue. My buying decision this bike is wrong so please don't go to buying this bike. Choose another company I am totally disappointed facing this type of issue.

Amazing performance
14 weeks ago
Ashok Kumar Lenka
First I want to share my buying experience. I booked the matte red color but after waiting for almost 2 months dealer was unable to arrange the specific color and I ended up buying the red black. When it came to owning the bike and experiencing almost 20k kilometers I am super happy with its performance and reliability, especially the mileage. Being a 200cc bike it's giving nearly 45kmpl in heavy Bangalore traffic. You can drive as low as 38 kmph in 5th gear. Due to the lightweight and slipper clutch, it's very easy to ride in heavy traffic conditions. The only only thing that missing is the 6th gear. On the highway, a 6th gear would've pushed the top end a little more. The top speed I achieved is 136kmph cause I weigh a little heavily. An all-led setup would have been great but it's not a much of concern. Service cost is very less compared to other 200cc bikes. It will cost you less than 2.5k which makes it more worthy. Hope you find this helpful.

Due to open chain system you have to wash and lube the chain in a gap of 300km. It will increase the ride quality and lifespan of the chain. Timely service need to be done and if you are staying in a heavy traffic metro city always do the service before the given time. Because in heavy traffic engine oil burn little quicker.

First of all on paper it seems awesome but in reality it's very different. I purchased a 200 4V in dec 2020 and I have covered 28000 kilometres on this bike.This bike has problems now and then, and the built quality is very poor. (Sometimes starting issue, battery down issue even though the battery is fully charged etc)Like its balancer gets damaged while tackling potholes, Its chain sprocket is very poor i had to replace it at 11000 kilometres just to let you know I ride my bike sensibly.Its LED light got dim.Certain noise comes from the engine kat kat katWhenever I visit the service centre one or more parts have to be replaced for sure.Till now I have spent nearly 30k to 35k on this bike.Radial tyre got damaged at 21000 km which was shocking as in my area roads are good.I will not recommend this bike its on-road price must be eye-catching but after-sales service as well as the built quality is patheticChoose your vehicle wisely.

Get your chain clean and lube every 250 km to 300 km because its chain gets dry very fast. Service is required at every 2000 km to 2500 km. You need to get your throttle body clean in very alternate servicing. To avoid chain noise replace the chain bottom guide at every 7000 km.

The Blue Beast
3 weeks ago
Samipendu Das
Ok, so let me inform others about my ownership review of the Blue Beast. I purchased it on August 1, 2021 in West Bengal. I should say every dealership here will force you to buy their insurance else you have to do RTO registration and insurance through agents (You know why). The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.Performance and mileage wise: 5/5Comfort: 4/5Servicing and Maintenance:There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.Reliability: 4/5.Pros:EngineLow MaintenanceReliabilityServiceCons: SeatI hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

Very bad quality bike I have seen in my life.
3 weeks ago
Bhola Naskar
Do not buy this bike. Service center experience is very poor. The fuel pump problem is a very common problem on this bike. Please don't buy TVS company bike. Customer support is very poor. After-sale service is very poor. After 2 months of use I have faced the issue with my bike. I submit by the bike service center they give me a bike after 40 to 50 days. They change my bike fuel pump. After 1 year by bike facing the same issue. My buying decision this bike is wrong so please don't go to buying this bike. Choose another company I am totally disappointed facing this type of issue.

Amazing performance
14 weeks ago
Ashok Kumar Lenka
First I want to share my buying experience. I booked the matte red color but after waiting for almost 2 months dealer was unable to arrange the specific color and I ended up buying the red black. When it came to owning the bike and experiencing almost 20k kilometers I am super happy with its performance and reliability, especially the mileage. Being a 200cc bike it's giving nearly 45kmpl in heavy Bangalore traffic. You can drive as low as 38 kmph in 5th gear. Due to the lightweight and slipper clutch, it's very easy to ride in heavy traffic conditions. The only only thing that missing is the 6th gear. On the highway, a 6th gear would've pushed the top end a little more. The top speed I achieved is 136kmph cause I weigh a little heavily. An all-led setup would have been great but it's not a much of concern. Service cost is very less compared to other 200cc bikes. It will cost you less than 2.5k which makes it more worthy. Hope you find this helpful.

Due to open chain system you have to wash and lube the chain in a gap of 300km. It will increase the ride quality and lifespan of the chain. Timely service need to be done and if you are staying in a heavy traffic metro city always do the service before the given time. Because in heavy traffic engine oil burn little quicker.
